Dear Perrigo Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. There was a time when I saw Dick almost every day. Although he and my dad were tireless workers, they always had time to share a swift story with each other to share a laugh and they always included me. Then they would get back to work. I remember when he was very scared to change his printing company´s name to honor his surname. After much consideration and significant encourage from my dad and probably others Perrigo Printing was born. Never an unkind word, he was the consummate gentleman. We spoke on the phone earlier this summer in hopes of having lunch together before the school year started. He was so proud of his children, grandchildren & their accomplishments. He was a great friend of Swift Printing and was so highly regarded in our community. RIP Dick

There was one word left out describing Dick, ( character)! Duck was a close friend and a very good person! I always enjoyed going in to his store and just "shooting the breeze" for awhile. Always a pleasure! I will miss him!

I met Dick while working downtown in the 70's. I had the pleasure of once again working with him in the early 2000's. We had lots of laughs. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his family.

I grew up in Allegan with Dick and his brother Bob. Wonderful family. His mother and father were the nicest people. Dick was one of the kindest people I have known. He was loved by all who knew him. I shall miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
